Actually there isn’t be fresh news because I had concerned on all above for several weeks.So I just need some more time to review the performance and then make some final conclusions-the changes are substantial or inessential.

THIS MESSAGE CONTAINS *CRITICAL* INFORMATION. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ IT RIGHT NOW. In This Message: - TrafficJam.com Is Coming - 42% Increase In Free Traffic - Widget Performance Monitoring - All Members Must Be Displaying The Widget - Closing In On ONE BILLION Blog Headlines We’ve received TONS of positive feedback on the release of “Phase 2″ for BlogRush! Members are really happy with the new Dashboard stats and reporting as well as all the new features — including the new “thin widget” option and “BUZZ” meter. And many are especially excited about the important news we released about our upcoming “TrafficJam” sister site. If you haven't yet experienced the new "Phase 2" of BlogRush (and viewed the new VIDEO inside) make sure to login to your account to check it out:http://www.blogrush.com ********************************************* TrafficJam.com Is Coming ********************************************* TrafficJam (which will be located at TrafficJam.com) will take the hottest posts from across the BlogRush network and rank them by category based on our “BUZZ” meter technology. This site will be another way for our users to drive more free traffic to their blogs. We expect many Internet users will start using TrafficJam to keep up with the latest news about the niche they are interested in, as well as a great resource for bloggers to find important blog posts from other bloggers so they can then write about them (and link to them!) on their own blogs. ********************************************* 42% Increase In Free Traffic ********************************************* 42% Increase In Free Traffic Sent To BlogRush Members In Last 48 Hours Since releasing Phase 2 we’ve seen a 42% increase in click-rates (i.e. the free traffic members receive) across the entire network. This is mostly due to the release of the thin widget option. Many of our users had blogs that could not accommodate the standard widget size and were forced to place the widget at the very bottom of their pages — this was contributing to lower click-rates across the network. And we’re about to make additional changes to dramatically improve the click-through rates which is what will send every member even more traffic… ********************************************* Widget Performance Monitoring ********************************************* The #1 reason BlogRush isn’t sending the maximum free traffic to all of its members is simple… many users are placing the widget very low on their blogs where most people won’t even see it. Did you know that over 1,500 BlogRush users (across nearly all network categories) are receiving average daily click-through rates between 1% and 2% on the BlogRush widget on their blog? And it should also be no surprise that these users are getting a higher rate of referral activity than everyone else — more bloggers click their “Add Your Blog Posts” widget link and sign up for BlogRush. (Because more people SEE their widget.) ALL of those users have ONE THING in common… they have the BlogRush widget positioned high up on their blog where a lot of people will see it! So right now you could be receiving 10 TIMES (or more) traffic from BlogRush, but the reason why you don’t is because so many of our users are placing the widget very low on their blogs where it’s not being seen — and those poor performing widgets are hurting the overall network click-rates. YOUR BLOG POSTS are only appearing inside those 1%-2% click-rate widgets on rare occasion (which is what will send you the most traffic). The rest of the time your posts are appearing inside widgets that no one can even see! (Which is why you aren’t getting more traffic.) Here’s What We’re Doing About It We’ll soon be adding “widget performance monitoring” to our network. Any users that have low-performing widgets will be automatically notified that they need to improve the positioning for the widget on their blogs. Failure to improve their widget performance (which can be done by giving the widget higher placement) will remove that user from the network. THIS IS THE ONLY *FAIR* WAY TO DO IT. “WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, I KNOW, I KNOW…” Since we originally launched BlogRush about 6 weeks ago, we encountered some problems that we had to deal with… we had to increase our security measures to stop people from abusing the network, which we did… then we had an issue with low-quality blogs in the network… and we worked very hard to manually review ALL blogs, we had to make some tough decisions to remove over 10,000 from the network, and now we have a fantastic, high-quality network of member blogs, BUT… Before we fixed all of these problems, the quality and performance of the network was poor and it didn’t send as much traffic to our members — which we were very unhappy about, and the sole reason we’ve worked so hard to fix things. SOO… it has been a “Catch-22″ for many of our members… “Why should I give the BlogRush widget higher placement when I’m not getting much traffic from it!” And for those that have this reaction, it’s PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE...*I* would, personally, feel the exact same way. But we now have the data that PROVES that BlogRush, as a system for driving valuable, targeted blog readers to other blogs, 100% WORKS. It just requires that our members give the widget high enough placement so visitors will see it and can use it. So here’s what I’m asking all of our members that currently don’t have the widget placed very high up on their blogs… PLEASE immediately move the widget higher up on your blog. (Thank You.) Just give it a chance as we encourage everyone to give the widget higher placement and at least see what happens. If you aren’t happy later, then by all means, remove the widget from your blog. It’s that easy. BlogRush was created as a truly COOPERATIVE system to drive tons of valuable targeted traffic to blogs. It only works for those willing to be fair to the other members. BY THE WAY, if you’re one of our valued members that DOES have the widget placed high on your blog, “Thank You!” You’re doing your fair contribution to the network and we sincerely appreciate it. (And you’ll be rewarded for it.) Do we require that the widget be placed at the absolute very top of your blog? NO. But if you place the widget so that it is immediately in view when someone loads your blog, or at the very least is seen shortly after someone starts to scroll, you can pretty much guarantee that you won’t be receiving a “widget performance WARNING” from our system asking you to improve the placement. If you will be unable to give the widget good placement on your blog (similar to what is mentioned above) then please go ahead and remove the BlogRush widget from your blog, because I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet our new widget performance requirements. It’s just not fair for our other users to be giving YOUR BLOG POSTS great exposure on their blogs if you aren’t willing to do the same for theirs. ********************************************* All Members Must Be Displaying The Widget ********************************************* This is something that we’ve let slide a bit as we’ve been fixing all the major issues we encountered. We understand that many users took the widget off their blog so they could take a “wait and see” approach before putting it back. But now the time has come to enforce a new rule for the network… if you’re not displaying the widget on your blog you cannot earn or use syndication credits for your account. For any time that the widget is not active on your blog(s) that you have set up in your account, none of your posts will be syndicated and your account will not accumulate any additional credits. Your referral network and activity will remain intact, as will any existing credit balance, but you will not be earning any new credits (or using any) during the time the widget is not being actively displayed. This is the only FAIR WAY for the network to work. Many of our members that have been making a solid effort to contribute to the network have complained that they click on links inside their widget only to find a blog that’s not showing the widget. So we’re putting an end to this as it just isn’t fair. And any members that have an inactive widget for an extended period of time (30+ days) may be terminated from the network and have their accounts permanently closed. Please know that we are working VERY HARD to help drive tons of traffic to your blog. We’ve got lots of new services and plans in the works! Our success with BlogRush is based solely on YOUR SUCCESS of getting lots of traffic from our network. So please know that all of these “rules” and moves that we are making are with that sole focus in mind. We are quickly heading towards our ONE BILLIONTH blog headline served! Maybe we’ll throw a little party when that happens?   And a big “Thank You” to everyone for their patience, understanding, and also valued constructive criticism!
